24-25 November 2015, Mt Mitsumine Camp in Japan

Last week the team UAE-Bahrein travelling to Japan for the world tournament attended the Mt Mitsumine Camp organised by the IKO, near Tokyo. We are impatient to have them back to hear their juicy japanese stories!

Although a domination of the Russian and Japanese fighters was evident (with respectively 18 and 9 fighters reaching the Top 32), it is the first time in Kyokushin Karate history that a European fighter wins the event.

20 November 2015, Bahreini fighter in the world tournament

After many months/years of hard and intense training, Senpai Mustafa Marhoon from the Bahrein Branch participated in the 11th world open tournament.

His first fight was against Ukrainian fighter Eldar Ismailov. Senpai Mustafa went through a tough fight and unfortunately lost on decision.

Fighting in this event is one of the toughest experience in a karate-ka journey. He made both the UAE and Bahrein branches very proud!
